Sorry Tom, I meant to say the fvwm maximise functions. Clicking the centre right button on the vmail title bar changes it from the "single" window button(maximised) to the "double" window button(restored) so the function works o.k it just doesn't resize properly. It doesn't seem to matter whether you use vga or svga as I do by default (800x600).

AS it stand vmail does an excellent job and I reckon we stick with it and further develop it as the standard graphical mail/news prog. Looks like I'll have to learn tcl codeing or just jump straight in and learn the hard way as usual!!
